Monday, April 23rd, 2018…… This morning I woke up early again and
got monster puppy out of my room/her cage.
No messes again! Yaay! After I
took her out, I showered and went out and got breakfast and coffee/tea. I also
stopped at Faithful Friends, one of the vets here in town. No puppy package here but my sister had a
list of the costs of shots and visits and everything listed totaled less than
the puppy pack at Paws, the other place in town. There is a third but we heard negative things
so we’re passing on that one. I registered and made an appointment for
Thursday. After getting back home and eating breakfast, I worked a bit on the
doggie gate and got that modified. The
guys got here about 9:00am and brought some help. One of their friends asked for some work and
Dana is tired of heaving around the 16’ 2x6’s so she said hire him! They made a
good trio and got almost all of the walls up today!
End of day 17….
I had planned
on mowing the lawn today and I easily could have, but I chose instead to give
it one more day to dry out. I went out
and got the last of my fittings for the bbq and finally got everything hooked
up and working. Everything’s cleaned up and ready for the first bbq! So that’s done! Since I was running around, Lydia had doggie
duty most of the day. Rylee stays pretty close to her in the living room but
when I’m in the house and moving around, she is always right at my heels,
following me closely. She’s pretty good at tug of war and loves her sticks,
just like Bailey! We only had two mistakes on the floor. She sniffs and squats
before we can get her to walk outside!
But she’s learning more every day.
Lydia’s feet
were swollen (a lot coming from the long car ride) so she was not ready to make
dinner tonight. So, I drove over to KFC
and picked up some chicken. We each watched tv, catching up on our taped shows,
before calling it a night.
Tuesday, April 24th, 2018…… Today
was another early morning. I think I’m caught up on my sleep though so it’s ok.
Lydia needs 8 hours so she’s still catching naps here and there. Plus, muttley
keeps her going (which is a good thing!)
The team got back to work this morning and spent the day finishing the
framing and getting fireblocks installed.
Tim moved the rock pile and made a path so they could get a boom truck
in to install the glue lam header for the garage door opening. That monster is
over 14’ long! The roof trusses will be
here on Monday and they should be ready. Meanwhile, I got to work on the
lawn. Naah! Aimee came by to see Rylee and we visited
with her for an hour or so. So I didn’t get to it again.
The weather
here is wonderful. Temps during the days
are in the 70s. The nights and early mornings are still cool but getting warmer
as well. The flowers have taken
off! Here are some tulips that are
blooming.
Lydia has planted
a bunch of rhododendrons all around the house.
These get the most sun so they are doing well.
I have no idea
what these are but they’re colorful!
We found that
there’s are tulip farm not too far from here so we’ve got that on our to do
list.
End of day
18…..
